So Aussie know how to perform and how to reply thats why I think IPL is giving this opportunity to the Aussies new comers even they did not play much international matches ... some of them are yet to play for their national team ...

LUKE RONCHI , GREEVES , DAVID HUSSEY , POCHAMBRAT and there are some other names as well ...

Well not only Aussies but there are many other country player as well whose name you never heard ... some of them are Pakistanis and more over IPL is also promoting Indian Under 19 members as well. So this is baseless to say that BCCI or IPL is promoting Aussies players.

Moreover Aussies are really a fighter and can lift the spirit of game.

ha ha, good question.

I dont have perfect answer but, may be coz they still posses enough T20 experience to win the matches as compared to even national level players.
So u need them to win matches and they are best value for money as they could be bought at relatively much lower amount (imagine shane watson is only $125,000 ) compared to established players.

i dont really think it matters as a franchise can play only four international players, if they buy and decide to play such players they will do that by risking to bench more experienced and seasoned players from around the world, i dont think it will really matter to other indian players as thier chances may not get hampered, this will only give a chance to the upcoming indian players to learn from players form all over the world and with varied experiences, and from players who are specialist in their forms of the game, so they can learn from test and one day specialist seniors and also twenty twenty specialist like these players so they can transform into complete players with knowledge of all forms of th egame helping them to adapt relatively easily in the different forms.

This is meaningless question.
IPL is giving opportunity to every cricketer who has what it takes to succeed at International level.
Be it Australian, English, West Indian or any other.
So from where does this question arise?

Because they are talented and play good innings. Shane Marsh now highest scorer in this tournament played good from Punjab Team. shane Watson doing well for Rajsthan team.
